3 * Fixes ported from trunk:
5 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
6 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
7 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
8 ruserpass() has a void return type.
10 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
11 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
12 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
13 provide memmove() substitute implementation
15 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
16 source directory' feature
18 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
19 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
21 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
23 * Fixes ported from trunk:
25 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
26 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
27 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
30 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
31 is the wrong approach.
33 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
34 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
35 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
38 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
39 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
40 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
41 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
42 broken for continued lines from the server.
44 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
46 * Port fix from trunk for SASL not working with newer libsasl.
48 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
50 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
52 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
54 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
55 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
56 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
57 obsolete feature of autoconf
59 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
61 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
62 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
63 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
65 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
67 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
68 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
70 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
72 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
75 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
77 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
78 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
79 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
80 following done() (should never be reached).
82 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
84 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
85 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
87 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
89 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
90 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
92 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
94 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
95 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
96 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
97 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
98 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
99 acconfig.h if you must.
101 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
103 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
104 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
105 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
106 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
108 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
110 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
113 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
115 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
116 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
117 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
118 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
119 have Content-Disposition.
121 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
123 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
126 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
128 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
129 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
131 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
133 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
134 encoded block is empty
136 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
138 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
139 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
140 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
143 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
145 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
146 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
149 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
151 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
152 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
153 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
154 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
157 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
158 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
160 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
162 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
163 function num_digits into utils.c
165 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
167 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
168 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
169 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
171 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
173 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
174 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
175 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
176 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
177 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
178 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
179 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
180 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
182 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
184 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
185 Content-Disposition header.
187 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
189 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
190 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
191 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
192 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
193 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
194 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
195 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
196 users to easily accomodate that by adding
197 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
199 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
201 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
202 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
204 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
206 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
208 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
209 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
211 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
212 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
214 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
216 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
217 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
218 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
219 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
220 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
223 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
225 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
226 widths, restoring right justification feature
228 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
230 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
231 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
232 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
234 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
237 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
239 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
240 handling multi column characters.
242 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
244 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
246 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
248 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
249 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
252 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
254 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
256 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
258 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
261 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
263 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
266 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
268 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
269 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
270 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
271 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
273 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
275 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
276 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
277 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
278 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
279 where configure's autodetection fails.
281 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
283 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
284 configure script change.
286 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
288 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
289 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
290 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
293 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
295 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
296 the context is only read once.
298 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
300 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
301 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
303 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
305 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
306 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
308 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
309 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
312 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
313 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
316 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
318 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
319 vi isn't found during build.
321 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
323 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
324 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
326 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
327 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
328 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
330 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
332 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
333 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
335 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
336 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
337 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
338 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
341 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
342 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
343 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
345 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
346 entry in the context file.
348 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
350 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
351 problems on some systems
353 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
354 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
356 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
358 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
359 sendmail isn't found during build.
361 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
363 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
365 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
367 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
368 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
370 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
371 references to the web page and mailing list locations
373 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
374 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
376 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
379 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
381 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
382 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
383 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
385 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
386 was configured with --enable-apop.
388 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
389 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
390 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
392 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
393 new versions of flex.
395 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
396 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
397 doesn't guess wrongly.
399 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
401 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
402 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
404 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
405 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
407 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
408 files with numbers as names
410 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
412 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
414 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
416 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
418 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
419 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
421 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
423 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
426 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
427 test/report error writing to stdout
429 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
431 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
433 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
434 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
435 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
437 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
438 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
439 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
441 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
443 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
444 character set used by the current locale
446 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
447 message's filename overflows an int when converted
449 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
450 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
452 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
454 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
457 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
459 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
460 from Michael Richardson.
462 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
463 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
465 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
467 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
468 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
470 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
472 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
473 find sub-parts of the specified part
475 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
477 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
478 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
479 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
480 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
481 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
482 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
483 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
486 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
488 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
489 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
490 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
493 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
494 refiling with -src option.
496 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
498 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
500 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
502 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
503 mailpath being overwritten.
505 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
507 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
508 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
509 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
510 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
511 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
512 reinitializes the tmp file string.
514 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
515 if a format string was read from the profile.
517 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
518 path for the external hook.
520 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
522 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
523 another location for ndbm.
525 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
527 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
529 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
531 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
534 136976 - Handle binary content messages
535 143427 - mh-format.man typo
536 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
537 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
538 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
539 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
540 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
541 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
542 181867 - typo for nmh.man
544 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
546 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
547 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
548 contitional code which will result in cached data to
549 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
550 and parse on the first use.
551 * Remove some unused flag bits.
553 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
555 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
556 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)

567 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
569 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
570 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
572 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
574 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
575 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
576 to docs/README.about.
578 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
580 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
582 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
583 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
584 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
585 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
588 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
590 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
591 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
592 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
593 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
594 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
595 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
598 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
599 summary configure prints out.
601 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
602 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
603 subjectively more readable) format.
605 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
607 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
610 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
612 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
613 19xx when it's not necessary.
615 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
617 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
618 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
621 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
622 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
623 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
624 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
625 the man pages correctly.
627 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
629 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
631 * Finished manpages ali-prev
633 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
634 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
635 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
638 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
639 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
640 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
641 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
643 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
645 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
646 the formatting rules I've been using.
650 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
652 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
653 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
654 used in the manpages.
656 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
657 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
658 read in the contents of the file as the variable
661 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
662 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
663 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
664 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
665 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
666 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
667 bold flags and italicized parameters.
669 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
671 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
672 --with-locking option.
674 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
675 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
676 information was not being communicated to the
677 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
678 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
679 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
680 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
681 undefined symbols problems.
683 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
684 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
685 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
686 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
687 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
688 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
689 for a genuine krb4 installation.
691 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
693 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
694 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
696 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
698 * Made a new ./configure option called
699 "--with-locking" that allows the file
700 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
701 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
703 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
704 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
705 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
706 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
707 the user that these are the valid options, and
708 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
711 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
713 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
714 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
715 committed to supporting flex only, since
716 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
717 string, as well as other problems documented
718 below and on nmh-workers.
720 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
721 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
722 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
725 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
726 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
728 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
730 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
731 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
732 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
734 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
736 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
737 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
739 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
741 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
742 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
743 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
744 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
745 couldn't correctly identify them.
747 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
749 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
750 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
751 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
752 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
753 not depending on an external archive.
755 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
756 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
757 mts/generic is no longer built.
759 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
761 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
762 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
763 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
764 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
765 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
766 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
767 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
768 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
770 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
772 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
773 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
776 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
778 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
779 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
780 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
783 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
784 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
785 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
786 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
788 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
789 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
790 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
791 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
792 merged into the smtp code).
794 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
795 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
796 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
799 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
800 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
801 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
802 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
803 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
804 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
805 in the appropriate Makefile.in
807 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
809 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
810 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
811 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
812 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
813 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
814 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
815 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
816 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
817 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
818 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
819 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
821 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
823 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
824 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
825 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
826 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
827 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
828 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
829 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
830 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
831 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
833 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
835 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
836 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
839 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
842 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
844 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
846 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
847 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
848 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
849 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
851 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
854 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
855 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
856 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
857 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
859 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
860 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
862 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
864 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
867 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
868 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
869 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
871 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
872 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
873 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
874 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
876 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
877 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
878 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
879 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
881 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
882 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
883 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
885 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
887 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
888 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
889 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
890 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
891 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
892 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
895 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
896 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
898 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
899 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
901 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
903 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
905 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
907 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
908 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
909 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
910 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
912 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
914 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
915 be easily changed from "," to "#".
917 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
919 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
921 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
922 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
925 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
927 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
928 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
929 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
930 but not for the subsequent data stream.
932 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
934 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
935 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
936 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
937 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
938 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
940 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
942 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
943 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
945 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
946 cat, also define lorder as echo.
948 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
950 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
952 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
953 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
954 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
956 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
958 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
961 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
962 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
964 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
966 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
967 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
969 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
971 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
972 inc does not need to be setgid.
974 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
976 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
977 library, as found on Debian systems.
979 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
981 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
983 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
984 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
985 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
986 case-insensitivity flag.
988 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
990 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
991 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
993 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
995 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
996 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
997 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
998 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
999 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1000 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1001 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1002 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1003 getting moved aside).
1005 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1006 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1008 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1010 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1011 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1012 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1013 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1014 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1015 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1016 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1017 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1018 the prototype, but never sets it.
1020 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1021 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1022 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1023 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1024 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1025 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1027 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1028 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1029 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1030 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1031 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1033 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1035 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1036 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1039 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1040 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1041 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1042 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1043 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1044 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1045 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1047 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1049 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1051 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1052 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1053 this works on other systems.
1055 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1057 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1058 checks for write failures.
1060 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1062 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1064 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1067 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1069 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1071 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1073 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1074 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1077 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1079 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1080 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1081 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1082 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1084 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1086 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1087 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1090 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1091 as well as Makefiles.
1093 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1095 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1096 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1097 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1098 should make maintainability easier.
1100 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1101 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1102 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1103 whatever you know works.
1105 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1107 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1108 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1109 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1111 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1112 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1113 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1114 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1116 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1117 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1118 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1120 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1121 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1122 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1123 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1124 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1126 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1127 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1128 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1129 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1130 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1131 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1132 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1133 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1134 from the BSD version.
1136 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1137 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1138 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1140 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1141 in ruserpass.c also.
1143 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1146 This happens on solaris:
1149 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1150 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1154 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1156 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1157 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1159 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1162 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1163 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1164 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1165 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1166 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1167 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1168 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1169 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1170 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1171 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1173 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1174 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1175 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1176 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1177 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1178 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1181 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1182 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1183 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1184 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1185 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1187 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1188 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1190 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1192 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1193 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1194 to stdin, such as exmh.
1196 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1197 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1198 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1201 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1203 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1204 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1205 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1206 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1207 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1208 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1209 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1211 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1213 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1214 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1216 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1218 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1219 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1221 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1223 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1226 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1227 along with any -host or -user option.
1229 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1231 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1233 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1234 process was fresh in my mind.
1236 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1238 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1239 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1241 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1243 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1245 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1248 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1249 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1250 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1251 part of the program's name.
1253 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1254 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1257 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1259 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1260 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1261 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1262 single-character format would cause programs using this
1263 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1264 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1265 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1266 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1269 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1271 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1272 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1273 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1274 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1275 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1276 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1278 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1279 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1280 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1281 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1282 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1283 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1284 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1285 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1287 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1288 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1289 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1290 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1291 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1292 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1293 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1294 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1295 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1296 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1298 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1300 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1301 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1303 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1304 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1306 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1311 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1313 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1314 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1315 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1316 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1318 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1319 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1320 problem in the routine.
1322 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1324 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1325 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1327 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1328 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1329 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1332 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1334 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1335 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1336 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1337 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1338 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1339 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1340 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1341 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1342 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1343 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1345 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1347 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1348 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1349 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1350 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1351 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1352 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1353 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1354 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1355 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1356 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1357 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1358 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1360 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1361 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1362 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1363 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1364 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1366 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1369 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1371 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1372 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1373 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1374 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1377 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1379 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1381 * Applied, after some finessing,
1382 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1384 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1386 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1388 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1389 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1390 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1391 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1393 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1395 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1396 forgetting to do so!).
1398 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1399 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1400 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1401 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1402 arguments to enable all three types.
1404 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1405 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1407 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1408 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1409 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1410 updated copy of mts.conf.
1412 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1414 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1415 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1416 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1418 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1420 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1422 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1423 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1424 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1426 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1427 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1428 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1430 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1431 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1432 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1434 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1436 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1438 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1440 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1442 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1443 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1445 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1446 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1447 certain suffix to run properly.
1449 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1450 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1451 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1453 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1454 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1455 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1456 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1457 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1458 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1459 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1461 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1463 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1464 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1465 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1466 until some year far in the future).
1468 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1470 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1472 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1473 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1475 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1476 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1479 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1481 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1482 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1483 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1484 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1485 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1486 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1488 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1490 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1492 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1493 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1494 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1496 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1497 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1498 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1499 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1500 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1501 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1504 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1505 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1506 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1507 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1508 of masquerading individually.
1510 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1511 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1512 GECOS field delimiters.
1514 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1516 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1517 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1518 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1519 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1520 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1521 and explaining the feature.
1523 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1525 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1526 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1529 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1530 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1531 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1533 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1534 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1535 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1536 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1538 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1539 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1540 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1543 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1545 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1546 code to be executed.
1548 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1550 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1552 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1553 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1554 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1555 quotes embedded in them.
1557 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1559 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1560 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1561 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1562 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1563 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1564 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1565 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1568 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1569 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1570 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1571 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1572 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1574 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1578 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1579 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1580 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1581 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1583 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1586 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1588 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1590 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1592 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1593 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1594 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1596 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1599 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1601 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1602 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1603 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1604 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1605 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1606 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1608 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1609 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1611 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1613 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1616 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1618 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1619 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1620 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1623 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1624 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1625 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1626 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1627 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1628 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1629 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1630 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1631 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1632 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1633 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1634 processing that post has).
1636 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1638 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1639 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1640 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1641 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1642 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1643 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1646 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1648 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1650 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1652 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1654 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1655 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1657 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1660 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1662 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1663 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1664 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1667 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1669 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1670 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1671 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1672 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1673 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1674 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1676 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1678 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1680 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1682 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1683 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1684 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1685 caught again. This works for now.
1687 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1689 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1691 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1692 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1694 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1696 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1697 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1699 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1701 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1703 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1705 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1706 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1708 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1710 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1711 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1712 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1713 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1714 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1717 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1719 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1720 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1721 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1723 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1724 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1727 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1729 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1730 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1731 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1733 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1735 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1736 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1738 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1740 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1743 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1744 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1746 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1747 macros, regardless of platform.
1749 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1750 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1752 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1753 with x-conversions=gzip.
1755 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1757 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1760 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1761 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1762 implicit definition of ioctl().
1764 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1765 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1766 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1767 want to mess with them.
1769 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1771 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1772 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1774 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1775 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1777 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1778 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1779 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1781 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1782 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1783 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1785 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1786 function initgroups.
1788 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1791 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1792 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1795 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1796 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1799 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1800 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1804 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1806 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1807 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1808 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1810 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1811 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1813 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1815 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1817 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1818 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1819 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1820 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1822 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1823 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1825 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1827 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1829 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1831 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1832 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1834 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1836 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1837 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1839 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1840 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1841 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1842 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1844 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1845 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1847 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1849 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1850 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1852 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1854 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1855 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1858 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1860 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1862 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1864 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1865 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1867 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1868 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1869 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1871 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1872 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1873 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1875 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1876 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1877 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1879 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1880 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1883 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1884 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1886 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1887 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1889 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1890 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1892 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1893 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1894 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1896 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1897 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1899 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1900 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1901 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1903 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1904 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1907 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1908 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1910 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1911 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1912 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1913 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1915 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1916 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1918 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1922 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1923 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1924 would not be changed.
1926 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1927 one from the Apache web server.
1929 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1930 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1932 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1933 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1934 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1936 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1938 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1940 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1941 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1944 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1945 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1946 removes a bad race condition.
1948 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1951 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1952 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1953 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1955 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1956 sequence information.
1958 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1959 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1961 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1964 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1967 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1969 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1970 interpret 034 as octal.
1972 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1974 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1975 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1977 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1978 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1980 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1981 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1983 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1984 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1986 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1987 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1989 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1990 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1991 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1993 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1994 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1995 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1997 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1999 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2001 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2002 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2005 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2007 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2008 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2010 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2011 header field information.
2013 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2014 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2016 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2017 values when parsing a content.
2019 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2020 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2022 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2023 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2025 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2026 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2028 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2029 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2031 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2033 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2035 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2037 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2039 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2040 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2043 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2044 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2046 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2047 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2048 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2049 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2050 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2051 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2054 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2056 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2057 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2058 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2060 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2061 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2063 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2065 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2066 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2067 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2068 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2070 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2071 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2074 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2075 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2076 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2077 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2080 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2082 * Released nmh-0.27.
2084 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2085 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2087 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2088 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2089 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2090 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2093 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2094 mhbuild returns an error.
2096 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2097 rename the draft file.
2099 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2100 use a global variable.
2102 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2103 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2105 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2106 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2108 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2109 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2110 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2112 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2113 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2115 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2116 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2119 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2120 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2123 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2124 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2126 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2127 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2128 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2130 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2131 to new function output_content_folder.
2133 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2134 new function output_content_file.
2136 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2137 to new function parse_format_string.
2139 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2140 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2141 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2142 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2144 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2145 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2146 message/external file from ftp.
2148 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2149 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2150 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2152 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2153 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2156 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2159 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2160 new file mhstoresbr.c
2162 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2165 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2166 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2168 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2169 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2171 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2172 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2173 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2175 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2177 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2179 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2180 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2183 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2184 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2186 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2189 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2191 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2193 * Released nmh-0.26.
2195 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2196 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2197 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2198 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2200 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2201 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2202 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2203 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2204 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2206 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2207 But it is not on by default.
2209 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2210 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2212 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2214 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2216 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2218 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2220 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2221 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2223 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225 * Released nmh-0.25.
2227 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2228 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2229 uses the original name of the library.
2231 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2232 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2235 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2236 list_content and list_debug.
2238 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2240 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2241 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2243 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * Released nmh-0.24.
2247 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2249 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2250 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2252 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2253 large sequence line.
2255 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2257 * Released nmh-0.23.
2259 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2261 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2262 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2263 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2264 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2266 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2267 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2270 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2272 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2274 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2276 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2277 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2279 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2280 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2282 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2283 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2285 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2286 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2288 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2290 * Released nmh-0.22.
2292 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2293 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2295 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2297 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2298 mh-profile(5) man page.
2300 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2301 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2303 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2305 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2307 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2308 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2310 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2312 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2313 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2314 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2316 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2317 source message on the standard input.
2319 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2321 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2322 rather than -rfc934mode.
2324 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2325 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2328 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2329 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2331 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2334 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2336 * Released nmh-0.21.
2338 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2339 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2341 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2344 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2345 to use for text contents.
2347 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2349 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2351 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2353 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2355 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2356 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2358 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2359 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2360 spaces between encoded word are.
2362 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2364 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2365 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2367 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2368 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2369 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2371 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2373 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2374 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2376 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2378 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2380 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2381 ISO-8859-X character set.
2383 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2386 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2387 permissions, not write permissions.
2389 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2390 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2392 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2395 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2397 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2399 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2400 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2402 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2403 message contains valid character set.
2405 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2406 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2408 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2409 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2411 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2412 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2413 between an encoded word and normal text.
2415 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2416 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2418 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2419 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2421 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2424 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2425 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2428 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2429 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2431 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2432 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2434 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2436 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Released nmh-0.20.
2440 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2442 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2444 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2445 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2446 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2448 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2449 and the To: line was missing.
2451 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2453 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2455 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2457 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2458 watch the POP transaction.
2460 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2461 first, and use it if available.
2463 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2464 first, and use it if available.
2466 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2470 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2471 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2472 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2475 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2476 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2477 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2479 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2480 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2483 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2485 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2486 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2488 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2490 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2491 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2493 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2494 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2495 message to which you are replying.
2497 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2498 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2499 making group replies.
2501 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2503 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * Released nmh-0.19.
2507 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2508 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2510 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2511 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2512 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2513 to the end of the man page.
2515 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2516 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2517 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2518 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2519 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2520 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2522 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2525 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2526 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2527 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2529 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2530 the next available number above the message number you wish
2533 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2534 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2536 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2537 file sbr/seq_print.c
2539 * flist will now update the current folder.
2541 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2542 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2543 but now undocumented.
2545 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2548 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2549 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2551 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2553 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2554 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2556 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2558 * Released nmh-0.18.
2560 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2561 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2562 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2564 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2565 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2567 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2568 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2569 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2570 previous public/private status.
2572 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2575 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2578 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2579 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2580 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2582 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2583 take option to determine whether it should get current
2584 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2585 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2587 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2589 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2590 wait for stopped processes.
2592 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2593 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2595 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2597 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2599 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2600 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2602 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2603 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2605 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2606 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2607 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2608 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2610 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2613 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2616 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2618 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2619 the debugging output.
2621 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2622 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2624 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2626 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2628 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2629 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2631 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2633 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2634 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2635 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2636 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2637 in the given sequence.
2639 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2640 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2641 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2642 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2643 subdirectories of a given directory.
2645 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2646 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2647 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2649 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2650 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2652 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2654 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2657 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2658 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2659 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2661 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2662 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2663 are calculated at runtime.
2665 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2669 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2670 about checking for global mh.profile.
2672 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2673 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2674 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2675 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2676 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2677 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2679 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2680 adding message to folder itself.
2682 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2683 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2684 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2687 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2688 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2691 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2692 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2693 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2695 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2696 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2698 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2699 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2700 code to use it yet).
2702 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2704 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2706 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2707 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2709 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2710 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2712 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2714 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2717 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2719 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2721 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2723 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2725 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2726 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2728 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2730 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2732 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2734 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2736 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2738 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2739 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2741 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2742 configuration files.
2744 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2746 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2748 * Released nmh-0.17.
2750 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2752 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2753 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2755 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2758 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2759 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2761 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2762 number of refiled message.
2764 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2766 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2767 for return value of wait().
2769 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2771 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2773 * Released nmh-0.16.
2775 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2779 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2780 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2781 deal with binary messages, yet).
2783 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2785 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2787 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2788 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2789 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2790 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2791 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2792 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2794 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2795 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2797 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2798 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2800 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2801 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2804 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2806 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2808 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2809 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2812 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2815 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2817 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2818 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2819 which used unsigned chars by default.

2836 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2837 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2839 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2840 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2842 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2844 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2845 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2847 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2848 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2849 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2850 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2852 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2853 and put in own subroutine.
2855 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2856 and put in own subroutine.
2858 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2859 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and

2891 selected messages to a sequence.
2893 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2896 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2898 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it

2940 * Released nmh-0.13.
2942 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2943 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2944 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2945 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2948 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2949 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2951 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2953 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2954 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2956 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2987 will suppress the display of the message header.
2989 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2991 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2992 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2994 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2996 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2998 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

3001 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3003 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3004 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3006 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3008 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3010 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3011 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3013 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3014 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3016 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Released nmh-0.10.

3071 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3073 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3074 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3076 * Released nmh-0.08.
3078 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3079 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3080 locking database itself.

3084 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3086 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3087 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3090 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3091 rather than mmdf format.
3093 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3094 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3095 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3096 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3098 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3100 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3102 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3105 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3106 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3107 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3109 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3110 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3111 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3113 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3115 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3116 can still easily change this in config.h).
3118 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3119 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3120 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3122 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3124 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3139 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3141 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3142 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3145 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3146 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3159 * Released nmh-0.06.
3161 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3162 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3164 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3165 many such machines around anymore.
3167 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3168 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3170 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3171 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3173 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3175 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3176 pre-generated version if necessary.
3178 * Released nmh-0.05.
3180 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3181 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3182 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3183 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3185 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3186 be linked in one pass.
3188 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3190 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3191 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3193 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3195 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3197 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3199 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3200 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3201 become the current folder.
3203 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3205 * Released nmh-0.04.
3207 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3210 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3212 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3213 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3214 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3216 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3218 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3219 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3221 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3223 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3224 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3227 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3228 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3230 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3232 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3233 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3234 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3235 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3236 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3237 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3239 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3241 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3242 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3244 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3245 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3247 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3249 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3250 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3252 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3255 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3256 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3258 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3260 * Released nmh-0.03.
3262 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3263 .mh_sequence file existed.
3265 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3266 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3268 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3269 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3272 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3274 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3277 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3280 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3281 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3283 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3285 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3286 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3287 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3289 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3291 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3292 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3294 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3296 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3298 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3299 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3300 directory from where the source code is located.
3302 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3304 * Released nmh-0.02.

3318 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3320 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3322 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3324 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3325 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3326 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3327 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3328 rather than in script.
3330 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3332 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3334 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3335 macro defined on Solaris.

3339 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3340 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3342 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3343 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3344 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3345 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3348 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3350 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3351 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3353 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3356 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3358 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3360 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3361 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3363 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3365 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3366 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3368 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3370 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3371 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3372 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3373 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3374 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3375 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3377 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3379 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3381 * Released nmh-0.01.
3383 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3384 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3385 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3388 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3390 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3393 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3395 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3396 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3398 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3400 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3401 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).

3407 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3408 speed up -recurse option.
3410 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3411 yet, but it compiles :-)
3413 * Changed default location for install to
3414 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3415 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3416 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3419 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3420 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3421 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
